User Reviews

User reviews show a divided sentiment: many praise the concept — recipes, favorites, and remote start — when the app works. However, a dominant chorus complains about a subscription/paywall model that gates essential functionality, making the app far less usable. Recurrent issues include unstable Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connections, sign-in hurdles, and reliability problems after updates (timeouts, devices not connecting). A few requests for features like delayed start highlight gaps. Overall, the app is seen as valuable in theory, but plagued by paywalls and connectivity/reliability flaws.
Pros
  • Seamless app experience with plentiful recipe ideas.
  • Ability to save favorites for quick access.
  • Remote start/control from away from home.
Cons
  • Mandatory subscription to use basic features and paywall gating.
  • Unstable Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity and frequent disconnections.
  • Frequent sign-in/account requirements and login problems across devices.
  • Reliability issues after updates, including timeouts and inability to connect.
  • Missing or locked features like delayed start and scheduling behind subscription.

I bought the anova sous vide, it has been working fine and I have no complaints about the actual functionality of the device outside of requirements of app for function with that said I will say that this apps function is significantly disappointing, I have subscribed and unsubscribed use now and it is left me in disbelief how little this company is willing to offer to people that cannot afford the subscription. is constant disconnection even when in the vicinity. disappointing please do better

This app stops working without an Internet connection. They will be able to force people into a paid subscription at any time. Then on top of that the heater completely died after about 3 months. I bought this piece of junk for fermenting. Now I just use sprouting mats and Mason jars. You can check the surface temperature with a thermometer. A precise temperature is not as important as William Davis makes it out to be. I have been able to ferment everything at 75° temperature.
